DO YOU SUPPORT/OPPOSE REFERENDUM 74: SHOULD GAY MARRIAGE BE LEGAL IN WASHINGTON? BRIEFLY, WHY? I support civil unions and the traditional marriage definition. Referendum 74 grants no additional rights to same sex couples and places restrictions on the freedom of practice of religion.
DO YOU SUPPORT/OPPOSE, INITIATIVE 502 TO MAKE SMALL AMOUNTS OF MARIJUANA LEGAL TO PEOPLE 21 AND OLDER? BRIEFLY, WHY? I do not currently support this; we need a national policy on marijuana.
